If you have done this does the issue still exist? If not, disconnect the drive, shut down and then restart the computer, and after the computer is fully booted reconnect the drive. Have you rebooted the computer since experiencing this issue? Update: When I tried copying a file using the direct address method I described above, it failed with the following error:ĭoes the drive exhibit the same issues if connected to a different computer? Since I have seen others posting problems about their WD devices as well, I can only assume it's something with the drive and not viruses. I've tried scanning for viruses with avast!'s boot scan and it found no viruses so I don't know if the problem is because of a virus. I mean, just right clicking on a file makes the thing stop responding and load for a while before it shows the right-click menu. And, it's just generally really slow too. It just kept calculating without even beginning the copy process. I tried opening the drive by using the one of the folders' address (Like, F:\My Documents) and entering that in the address bar for Explorer and it finally opened (after a longgg loading time as well) what I needed but, alas, I can't copy the important stuff I want out of the thing. I have checked and used troubleshoot in Devices and Printers and as far as the Properties of the Hard Disk and the Troubleshoot utility are concerned, the device is working properly. So, neither does it work nor (it seems to me) is it formatting. In an act of desperation, I even tried formatting it and it took some time, and it didn't really seem to be working so I stopped it as well. After all this, if I try to use it, it says I need to format it before I use it. Then, it takes some more time to load up the X GB of 931 GB).

It used to work fine before but, now, when I connect it, it takes a long time for it to even show up in My Computer (it immediately shows up in Devices and Printers but takes a long time to even show up as a drive, with just a letter. I have a WD My Passport 1TB and it's just gone bonkers, really.
